The issue of L.A. Youth intended to mark 25 years of the newspaper produced for teens by teens will also be the end of its run.

The newspaper -- printed six times a year and distributed in schools
across Los Angeles County -- was centered on first-person accounts of
young people writing about themselves, their culture and their
community. The students explored such subjects as life as an
undocumented immigrant, drug abuse, teen pregnancy and budget cuts in
the schools -- as well as such lighter fare as music reviews and school
lunch options.
